The ACM SIGGRAPH Reporters are volunteers who
canvas SIGGRAPH to relay ideas, events and stories from the conference
to the world at large. We aspire not only to convey the breadth
of new and exciting things at the conference's many venues, but
also to explore in depth the personalities, issues and culture
that are an enduring legacy of the SIGGRAPH community.
